The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A dark, punishing action-roguelike where each run demands precise platforming and spellcasting, with pixel-art visuals and permadeath reinforcing a tense, high-stakes pace.

What players say

Players praise the deep spell-merging system for creating chaotic, overpowered builds, though many note it is easy to lose your character in the visual clutter. The pixel art is widely admired, but opinions split on the writing, which some call cringey, and the movement, which feels floaty or binary to some. It is compared to Noita and Dead Cells.
